Illinois AG Targets ID Theft, Earlier Breach Notification

Illinois Attorney General (AG) Lisa Madigan has spent the last decade focused on consumer privacy and data security issues, from the passage of data breach legislation in 2005 to her testimony in front of Congress earlier this year on federal data breach legislation. Her office established its Identity Theft Hotline in 2006 to address specific consumer complaints, and she has participated in multistate data breach investigations of the most high profile breaches. Madigan talks to The Privacy Advisor about what has changed since 2005 and how her office is responding.
